Macroeconomist Lyn Alden<\/strong>, known for her long-term Ethereum<\/strong> skepticism, expressed surprise at the cryptocurrency\u2019s performance against Bitcoin<\/strong> following the U.S. presidential election. Alden revealed that she did not foresee Ether<\/strong> experiencing such a weak post-election performance, especially considering the favorable environment she expected due to Donald Trump\u2019s<\/strong> victory.<\/p>\n

In a November 17th post on X<\/strong>, Alden wrote:<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been kind of a polite long-term Ethereum bear<\/strong>, but the post-election new low in ETH\/BTC<\/strong> is even more brutal than I expected.”<\/p>\n

Alden noted that while Trump\u2019s administration<\/strong> is expected to be “open to crypto securities<\/strong>,” she was still taken aback by Ether\u2019s<\/strong> underperformance. On November 15, the ETH\/BTC ratio<\/strong> hit a multi-year low of 0.033, its lowest level since March 2021, despite the positive outlook following Trump\u2019s win.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After Trump’s victory, U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs<\/strong> saw an influx of $751.8 million. However, some analysts are concerned that Ethereum<\/strong> might be \u201cdying a slow death\u201d against Bitcoin<\/strong>. On the other hand, Consensys CEO Joe Lubin<\/strong> remains optimistic, stating that Ethereum is poised for long-term gains post-election.<\/p>\n

Lubin emphasized that Ethereum<\/strong> is finally shaking off the regulatory pressures that have been placed on it for years. He added:<\/p>\n

“Ethereum is much bigger and more mature than all other ecosystems, except Bitcoin<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Lubin also speculated that Trump\u2019s policies<\/strong> could help push DeFi<\/strong> (Decentralized Finance) into the mainstream, moving it from a niche market to a much broader audience.<\/p>\n

Trump Administration’s Crypto Policy Potential<\/h2>\n

Experts believe that Trump\u2019s administration<\/strong> could bring policies that favor DeFi<\/strong>, giving Ethereum<\/strong> an opportunity to regain strength. Marcin Ka\u017amierczak<\/strong> suggested that Trump\u2019s policies<\/strong> might help transition DeFi<\/strong> from a niche sector into the mainstream.<\/p>\n
